Chapter 46: Unknowing, Unknowing Transactions!

More than 20 miles southwest of Baodezhou, there is a large hilly area with barren land and rocks everywhere. No one lives around. Instead, there are many mass graves, with lush graves and yin energy!

Xue Yu thought about it over and over again and set the trading location here, and the trading time was midnight!

The reason is also very simple. If the transaction is too eye-catching, once the Fan family knows about this, they will definitely intervene!

Even if the transaction is successful, it will be difficult for Xue Yu and others to bring the livestock back to the west bank of the Yellow River. Maybe even the people can't go back!

I have already found out that the person in charge of Baodezhou is Fan Yongdou, the eldest son of the Fan family. This person is a famous smile tiger. He is polite to face others and secretly put a knife behind him. There are many businessmen who have broken them into his hands!

This eldest son Fan lives in the Fan Family Store in Baodezhou City. He rarely shows up in public, but his ears and ears are everywhere. If there is any disturbance, he will receive the news.

Change the transaction time to the evening, which is much safer!

Because Baodezhou is a border town, for safety reasons, at 5 o'clock in the evening, the evening drum was beaten, the city gate was closed, and travel was prohibited, which was one hour earlier than the Ming Dynasty's regulations!

At 5 o'clock in the morning, the morning bell rang, the city gate was opened, and the ban was opened, which was one hour later than the prescribed one!

As long as the city gate is closed, it is not an urgent matter, and it must not be opened. Although the Ming border army is also very corrupt, it has done a good job. Basically, no one dares to open the city gate privately. That is a serious crime of losing one's head!

Xue Yu had a clear plan. He could try his best to keep his hands behind closed doors with the Mongolians at midnight, so he could not let the Fan family know. And after the transaction was completed, his group of people drove the livestock and rushed all the way west!

The Mongolians would also leave Baodezhou and return to the Hetao grassland with tea bricks!

All gods don’t know, and all ghosts don’t realize it!

Let’s take a step back, even if the Fan family knew that the city gate had been closed at that time, they could not send the news into the city. Even if the news was sent in, the people in the city could not come out!

By the fifth hour of tomorrow, when the city gate opened, I had already led the team away. Even if Master Fan wanted to send someone to chase him, it would be too late.

This plan is perfect!

At night, Xue Yu and his group arrived at the mass grave first and hid in the trees. Seventy thousand tea bricks were shipped one after another. Every two hundred pieces were packed into a box and wrapped in oil cloth, which could protect against rain and moisture!

This time, I traded 300 horses and more than 1,000 cows with the Mongolians. According to the agreement, 70% of them were traded with tea bricks, which was about 50,000 yuan. Xue Yu brought 20,000 yuan more, of which 10,000 yuan was the advance payment for the next transaction in order to maintain a long-term cooperative relationship. As for the other 10,000 yuan... Keep it confidential for the time being!

There was still some time before midnight, and everyone sat in the woods to rest, holding weapons in their hands. Just in case, Yue Guofu followed him, but he did not rest, but surrounded Xue Yu, fanning him and handing him water to drink, and doing his best to curry favor!

Yue Guofu is a man with a kind appearance and a proud heart. He has always regarded himself as a business genius and has a high vision. However, after he met Xue Yu, he realized what it means to have mountains outside the mountain and people outside the mountain!

Take those tea bricks as an example. The purchase price is only a few hundred coins, but you have to trade three hundred horses and more than one thousand strong cows!

This is no longer a huge profit, but a million profit!

Even if Mr. Tao Zhusheng is in resurrected, he may not be able to do such a business. After a period of contact, he heard a lot of novel things from this boss!

What are marketing, statistics, monetary and banking, international finance... Although I don’t understand it very well, I know it is a profound knowledge. As long as I can learn a little bit, it is enough to travel around the business world and be rich in the world!

"Xiao Yueyue, stop flattering and slapping. Just tell me if you have anything to do!"

"Well, boss, I want to take you as your teacher and learn the way of doing business!"

"What, do you want to become a disciple?"

"Sincere!"

"no!"

Xue Yu shook his head repeatedly and refused. He was more than ten years younger than Yue Guofu, so how could he be his master?

Besides, if you want to return to Baisha Castle and prepare for the new trading market, Yue Guofu stayed in Baodezhou and presided over the Sihai Commercial Bank. Even if you want to teach him, you don’t have time!

But I also realized that Yue Guofu is a proud person, so it is not easy for him to ask for someone once. If he completely refuses, it would be too heartbreaking. I have to think of a solution!

"You are a lot older, and it is not suitable for your fellow disciples to become friends. Why not be like this? You should quickly marry a wife and concubine, have more sons, and then choose a smart person. As my disciple, how can I teach him all my business skills?"

"This is true?"

"A word is like a catastrophe!"

"Then I will give the honorary ceremony for the unborn child first!"

Yue Guofu immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowed three respectfully, and beat the matter to the point. At the same time, he made up his mind to go to the matchmaker tomorrow and talk about marriage, and strive to enter the bridal chamber within three days and hold the baby within one year!

In order to ensure a boy, I have to grow a lot and get a little harvest and marry a few more!

"Xiao Yueyue, with your smart and capable skills, I will definitely be able to manage the Sihai Commercial Bank well. I feel relieved. However, before leaving, there are three things to entrust you:

The first thing is that among several border towns in Xuanfu, Datong and Baodezhou, the tea market is seriously saturated, and a large amount of tea backlog is overflowing every year, and it is a pity to be forced to burn it!

You can buy these teas at a low price in the name of Sihai Business. The more the quantity, the better. Then send someone to the west bank of the Yellow River. When crossing the Yellow River, you can ask someone from Pai to help. Their leader has a good relationship with me!"

...

After much consideration, Xue Yu decided to put the base for producing tea bricks in Zhenqiang Station on the west bank of the Yellow River!

First, it is your own territory, which can ensure that the secrets of producing tea bricks will not be leaked, and can also promote the establishment of a new trading market!

Secondly, we also find some things for the military households in the Qiang Office to make them earn some wages and supplement their household income!

"The second thing is that you have to find ways to establish good relations with the eight Shanxi merchants and gain their trust!

At the same time, I found out the route they smuggled goods outside the customs, the time to go out of customs, the quantity, type of goods, and how many people were escorted. I found out all of them, and then sent someone to report them secretly to me!"

Speaking of this, Xue Yu touched the Sun-Sheng on his waist, his eyes full of murderous aura!

In the history of the late Ming Dynasty, the eight major Shanxi merchants were notorious!

They purchased tea, iron, porcelain, and shoddy cloth at low prices in the Central Plains, and then smuggled them outside the pass, and exchanged livestock and fur from the Mongolians at extremely high prices, thus gaining a lot of wealth, but they deceived countless poor people of the Mongolian and Han tribes!

This is not all. In order to further make huge profits, they also hooked up with the Jurchens, smuggled a large amount of grain, iron, gunpowder, etc. to the Liaodong area, and even sold the Ming Dynasty's military intelligence to the Jurchens, helping them to instigate the senior generals of the Ming army. All kinds of evil deeds are endless!

If the Ming Dynasty was a giant, the eight great Shanxi merchants were just a fat and big leech, who had been sucking in the flesh and blood, making the giant weaker and weaker until death!

To these traitors and national scum, not killing them is not enough to vent their anger!

The problem is that the eight major Shanxi merchants were too powerful, and they were domineering in Shanxi. They not only had a tangible relationship with the government and the army, but also had a unclear relationship with the two major vassal kings of Jin and the generation!

With Xue Yu's current strength, if he faces the eight major Shanxi merchants head-on, it is like touching a stone with an egg, and there is no chance of winning at all!

Since you can't fight head-on, let's play with the silence. Eight major Jin merchants, aren't you sucking the blood of the Ming Dynasty? Then I sucking your blood-find the route and killing people and robbing people!

"Don't worry, I will definitely do this matter properly and find out their smuggling route as soon as possible!" When talking about the eight major Shanxi merchants, Yue Guofu was also gritting his teeth. How could he not avenge the hatred of killing his father and destroying his family?

"The third thing: Wherever the team of Sihai Commercial Bank goes, I will try my best to find a few people. No matter who finds people or provides useful clues, I will thank you very much!"

While talking, Xue Yu took out seven scrolls, which he drew after spending a few nights. Each one had a child, with his facial features and appearance, and he was like a lifelike person. He was the seven friends who were missing!

Opening a Sihai Business Company, making money is just the second priority, and finding talents is the main purpose!

"Don't worry, my boss, I will ask the shop's guys to find these people with all their might, but what is the reward for giving you a heavy thank you?"

When missing someone, you must clearly mark the price. Only in this way can the people below do their best to avoid the depressed thing of only thanking gifts but not thanking gold!

"Is there a reward of ~ I will give it all at all at all!"

"Ah, who are these people?"

"My brothers and sisters!"

"Understood!"

...

"Long!--Long!Long!"

At midnight, the Mongolians drove the herds of livestock and arrived as promised!

With the water-like moonlight, we can clearly see that there were horses rushing in front of us, all of which were good Mongolian horses, with big heads and short necks, strong body, wide chests and long manes, thick skin and thick hair. Moreover, during the Mercedes-Benz, there was no one who neighed randomly, which means that they were all top-class military horses trained!

The cows followed closely behind, with high-quality goods with straight backs and thick limbs and short limbs. Some cows also carried boxes on their backs, and they didn't know what they were carrying!

Dozens of other Mongolians, holding long horse poles, kept driving the livestock to prevent them from running away. The leader was Suhetaiji and Wuyuntaiji!

Xue Yu and others went up to meet them and touched their heads in an open space!

"Did the two Taiji have been going smoothly along the way? Have you ever been targeted by the Fan family?"

"Don't worry, we have all cleaned up the Fan family's more than a dozen eyes and ears!"

"Kill?"

"No, tied up and stuffed into the trees!"

"Haha, a good idea!"

I was worried before that these Mongolians would be noticed by the Fan family when they came. I didn’t expect that they had solved it and the standards were so appropriate.

Needless to ask, it must be the idea of ​​this 'Wuyun Taiji'!

"Friend Xue, three hundred horses and more than one thousand strong cows, we have arrived as soon as possible. In addition, there are some cowhides, sheepskins, horns and stins, which are gifts we give you. Thank you for your help to the Urat tribe!"

"Suhe Taiji, here are 70,000 tea bricks, of which 50,000 yuan are exchanged for these cattle and horses. The remaining 20,000 yuan is half the advance payment for the next transaction, and the other half is a gift for you. May our friendship be like immortality and last forever!"

"Ha ha!"

Xue Yu and Su Hetaiji looked at each other and laughed to the sky. People who are truly good at doing business will not be greedy for the small profits in front of them. Only by looking at them for a long time can they make a lot of money!

Next, the two sides exchanged goods, and they had a tacit understanding and did not count the number, which was also a manifestation of trust!

"There will be a time later!"

"Bon Voyage!"
